RA-dependent proximal and distal enhancers’ architecture promotes RA-induced early ESC differentiation

ABSTRACT: Retinoic acid (RA) plays a pivotal role in different biological processes including inducing differentiation of embryonic stem cells (ESCs). We first knocked out one or both of RA receptors- Rarα and Rxrα to partially abolish the RA signaling, and then overexpressed one of them separately to hyper activation of RA signaling pathway. By transcriptome analysis, we show that RA signaling effects multi-lineage differentiation, particularly the endoderm, and identify RA signaling target genes, interesting, there are two family cluster genes- Hoxb and Cyp26. Chromosome immunoprecipitation (ChIP-seq) shows that RA induces novel proximal and distal enhancers around the cluster target genes and these enhancers are dependent of RA receptors(Rarα/Rxrα). 4C-seq reveals enhancer-enhancer and enhancer-promoter interactions in their regions and shows a decrease in the relative frequency of contact relative to WT after Rarα/Rxrα-knockout, suggesting Rarα/Rxrα participate in mediating chromatin interaction. We also identify that enhancers significantly maintain expression of RA-induced Hoxb and Cyp26 family genes and regulate multi-lineage marker genes. At the same time, we reveal that disrupting RA-response elements (RAREs) in the enhancer affects the expression of the target gene. Our study provides mechanistic insight into RA-induced early ESC differentiation to endoderm and potential regular regulation of downstream target genes.

Two enhancers synergistically regulate HoxB genes expressions and retinoic acid-induced early ESCs differentiation through 3D chromatin structure

Project description:Homeobox B cluster (HoxB) genes play important roles in RA-induced early ESCs differentiation. In this study, we identified two enhancers synergistically regulate HoxB genes expressions through 3D chromatin structure and thus regulate RA-induced early ESCs differentiation. 4C data showed interactions between HoxB genes and the two enhancers. CRISPR/Cas9-mediated individual or compound deletion of the two enhancers significantly inhibits HoxB genes expressions while transcriptome analysis revealed that RA induced early ESCs differentiation was blocked in the enhancer KO cells. Our study suggests new mechanism by which two enhancers regulate HoxB genes expressions and retinoic acid-induced early ESCs differentiation through 3D chromatin structure.

Enhancer architecture-dependent multilayered transcriptional regulation orchestrates RA signal-induced early differentiation of ESC

Project description:Signaling pathway driven target gene transcriptions are critical for fate determination of embryonic stem cells (ESC), but enhancer architecture-dependent transcriptional regulation remains largely unclear in this process. Here, we described a complex enhancer architecture-dependent multilayered transcriptional regulation that orchestrates retinoic acid (RA) signal-induced early differentiation of ESC. Specifically, we identified Hoxa1 and lncRNA Halr1 as the direct downstream target genes of RA signal. Chromosome conformation capture based screens show that increased enhancer interactions promoted by RA signal are essential for Hoxa1 and Halr1 expressions during early ESC differentiation. Furthermore, we find that HOXA1 promotes Halr1 expression through direct binding to enhancers; conversely, absence of Halr1 RNA enhances interaction between Hoxa1 chromatin and multiple enhancers, but weakens interaction with HoxA cluster internal chromatin, thereby promoting RA signal-induced Hoxa1 overactivation and early differentiation of ESC. These results indicate that Halr1 binds to chromatin not only acts as a brake to orchestrate interaction between enhancers and Hoxa1 chromatin, but also acts as a binder to maintain chromatin interaction within HoxA cluster. In summary, these findings reveal a complex multilayered transcriptional regulation involving the synergistic regulation of enhancer, transcription factor and lncRNA, and that increases our understanding of the intrinsic molecular mechanisms of RA signal-induced ESC differentiation.

Transcriptome of RA-responsive and RA-resistant breast cancer cell lines

Project description:Retinoic acid (RA), the main active vitamin A metabolite, controls multiple biological processes such as cell proliferation and differentiation through genomic programs and kinase cascades activation. Several breast cancer cells respond to the antiproliferative effects of RA, but others are RA-resistant. In several cases resistance has been correlated to the amplification of the erb-b2 receptor tyrosine kinase 2 (ERBB2) gene, but the overall signaling and transcriptional pathways that are altered in such cells have not been elucidated. Here we compared two human breast cancer cell lines, the MCF7 cell line, which responds to the antiproliferative action of RA and the BT474 cell line, which is RA-resistant subsequent to ERBB2 amplification in a large-scale analysis of the phosphoproteins and in a genome-wide analysis of the RA-regulated genes. Using high-resolution nano-LC-LTQ-Orbitrap mass spectrometry associated to phosphopeptide enrichment, we found that several proteins involved in signaling and in transcription, are differentially phosphorylated after RA addition. The paradigm of these proteins is the RA receptor α (RARα), which was phosphorylated in MCF7 cells but not in BT474 cells. The panel of the RA-regulated genes was also different. Overall our results indicate that ERBB2 amplification interferes with the ability of RA to activate kinases with consequences on the phosphorylation of several proteins involved in transcription and thus on gene expression.

Dynamic-network-guided CRISPRi screen identifies CTCF loop-constrained 1 nonlinear enhancer-gene regulatory activity in cell state transitions

Project description:Enhancers play key roles in gene regulation. However, comprehensive enhancer discovery is challenging because most enhancers, especially those affected in complex diseases, have weak effects on gene expression. Through gene regulatory network modeling, we identified that dynamic cell state transitions, a critical missing component in prevalent enhancer discovery strategies, can be utilized to improve the cells’ sensitivity to enhancer perturbation. Guided by the modeling results, we performed a mid-transition CRISPRi-based enhancer screen utilizing human embryonic stem cell definitive endoderm differentiation as a dynamic transition system. The screen discovered a comprehensive set of enhancers (4 to 9 per locus) for each of the core lineage-specifying transcription factors (TFs), including many enhancers with weak to moderate effects. Integrating the screening results with enhancer activity measurements (ATAC-seq, H3K27ac ChIP-seq) and three-dimensional enhancer-promoter interaction information (CTCF looping, Hi-C), we were able to develop a CTCF loop-constrained Interaction Activity (CIA) model that can better predict functional enhancers compared to models that rely on Hi-C-based enhancer-promoter contact frequency. Together, our dynamic network-guided enhancer screen and the CIA enhancer prediction model provide generalizable strategies for sensitive and more comprehensive enhancer discovery in both normal and pathological cell state transitions.

Identification of downstream effectors of retinoic acid specifying the zebrafish pancreas by integrative genomics [ChIP-seq]

Project description:Retinoic acid (RA) is a key signal for the specification of the pancreas. Still, the gene regulatory cascade triggered by RA in the endoderm remains poorly characterized. In this study, we investigated this regulatory network in zebrafish by combining RNA-seq, RAR ChIP-seq and ATAC-seq assays. By analysing the effect of RA and of the RA receptor (RAR) antagonist BMS439 on the transcriptome and on the chromatin accessibility of endodermal cells, we identified a large set of genes and regulatory regions regulated by RA signalling. RAR ChIP-seq further defined the direct RAR target genes including the known hox genes as well as several pancreatic regulators like mnx1, insm1b, hnf1ba and gata6. Comparison of our zebrafish data with available murine RAR ChIP-seq data highlighted conserved direct target genes and revealed that some RAR sites are under strong evolutionary constraints. Among them, a novel highly conserved RAR-induced enhancer was identified downstream of the HoxB locus and driving expression in the nervous system and in the gut in a RA-dependant manner. Finally, ATAC-seq data unveiled the role of the RAR-direct targets Hnf1ba and Gata6 in opening chromatin at many regulatory loci upon RA treatment.

Gene expression data of untreated and RA-treated wild type and RXRα-deficient mice liver

Project description:Our project focuses on retinoic acid (RA) effect on hepatic lipid homeostasis. Even though RA has more than one receptor including retinoids x receptor (RXR) and retinoic acid receptor (RAR), most probably, RA effect on lipid homeostasis is mediated by RXR and its partners such as PXR, FXR, and PPAR. So we treated the wild type and RXRα-knockout mice by retinoic acid to check the global gene expression especially for lipid homeostasis genes. We used microarrays to observe the global gene expression underlying hepatic lipid homeostasis.
